A highly regarded, design-led engineering consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Civils Technician to join its growing London team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced technician to step into a key position within an expanding civils department, working on a broad mix of UK-led projects across residential, commercial, public realm and infrastructure sectors.

• Drainage and highways packages for building-led developments
• Utility / service coordination including electrical, gas and wider infrastructure

This role offers the chance to become one of the senior technical figures in a growing team, with genuine scope to help shape standards, mentor junior staff, and develop into a longer-term Civil / BIM leadership position.

Responsibilities will include:

• Producing and coordinating technical drawings and Civil 3D models
• Supporting delivery of highways, drainage, levels, earthworks and infrastructure packages
• Programming work in line with project deadlines and client requirements
• Providing progress updates to project leads and senior management
• Coordinating with engineers, architects and other disciplines
• Attending design meetings, BIM meetings and site visits
• Supporting document control and project file management
• Mentoring junior technicians and assisting less experienced team members
• Helping develop internal BIM / CAD standards, templates and workflows
• Supporting quality control and checking technical output

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in a similar Civils Technician / CAD Technician / Civil 3D Technician role
• Proven experience delivering drainage, highways and infrastructure drawings
• Civil 3D proficiency is essential
• Experience working on UK development or building-related civils projects
• Strong understanding of coordination, accuracy checking and drawing control
• Ability to manage workload and support junior staff
• Good communication skills and collaborative approach

Desirable Experience

• Experience with Revit / Navisworks for coordination purposes
• Clash detection and BIM workflow experience
• AutoCAD experience
• Progress toward technician chartership or similar accreditation

Why Apply?

• £50,000 - £60,000 salary package depending on experience
• Join a growing civils team with strong long-term investment
• Opportunity to become one of the key technical hires in the department
• Broad project exposure across residential, commercial and public realm work
• Real progression potential into team leadership / BIM lead capacity
• Excellent staff culture with strong retention
• Hybrid working (minimum 3 days office)
• Discretionary bonuses
• Summer reduced-hour working arrangements
• Chartership support and professional development
• Social events, sports, wellbeing initiatives and catered lunches
